The Paper Chase – You Will Never Take Me Alive lyrics

let's hear it for circuits
lines drawn in the earth
cut to scramble for ample
little mouse hole to park your new car
& chew off our arms
with teeth we are losing from slow, comfy screwings
three cheers for the backseats
you legs pin that look in your eye
you'll never take me alive

this is what you are
you are what you

let's hear it for mirrors
with the ghost image clearer
hip hip for the pig that religiously belts you undone
this little piggy had none
'cause god hates our country
she told me she wants me to sing out "he's female!"
three cheers for the gal in the sky
you'll never take me alive

this is what you are
you are what you
this is what you are

do you know what it means to be doomed?
do you know what it means to be cursed?
when the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south
you know they're hiding bodies north

did you know that we're sinking knee-deep?
did you nail down what you plan to keep?
when the poltergeist pushes his freight on your shore
you are done for
done for
done for

the caskets are coughing with quotable quoting
the graveyard is littered with loves who thought their was no doubt
the world could not live without

this is what you are
you are what you
this is what you are

if i live through the day when the comet does come
i will write every one on my list one by one
sharpen the axe
stomp the flames out on backs
i will be who you want me to be
i will be who you want me to be

do you know what it means to be doomed?
do you know what it means to be cursed?
when the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south
you know they're hiding bodies north

did you know that your boot hills are stuck?
loosing feet weren't the rabbits are good luck
when the devil is resting his head on your door
you are done for
done for
done for

you are done for
done for
done for

did you know that you nurse a beehive?
come & get it
come take me alive
all the nooses are in in a grizzly frontier
we will show this cruel world
we will show this cruel world we were here
